Making a fabulous base for keen walkers, beach lovers and nature spotters discovering an idyllic corner of the Isle of Wight, this tastefully furnished retreat has been stylishly decorated and beautifully updated to provide a serene hideaway at the centre of a popular seaside town. The historic Shanklin Chine – an ancient, wooded gorge with waterfalls and idyllic scenery – is just a short stroll from the property, leading down to the golden sandy beach along the resort's traditional esplanade. Shanklin has a wide variety of great places to eat and drink and is ideally situated along the coast between the cheery resorts of Ventnor (3.5 miles) and Bembridge (7 miles). This part of the island is home to a range of attractions including Amazon World Park Zoo, the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary and Appuldurcombe House, all within 4 miles.
This chic and welcoming first-floor apartment has its own private entrance, with a staircase leading up to an inviting hallway. At the heart of the property is the bright, airy and light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a spacious and cheerful room with beautiful high ceilings and two generous bay windows with window seats. The elegantly arranged lounge has a Smart TV and a feature fireplace alongside plenty of sumptuous seating, perfect for relaxing in at the end of a long day. To one side, the stylishly presented kitchen island makes a sociable dining table, and the sleek, thoughtfully organised kitchen is fully equipped for rustling up family feasts. Exploring the spacious getaway further, you will find an elegant double shower room and a choice of three pretty bedrooms, each with a Smart TV: there's a charming twin room, a cosy double and a lovely family room with a plush king-size bed and steps leading up to a sweet small double bunk.
Although the property has no outside space of its own, it is ideally positioned within half a mile of the beach and the chine, with a fantastic choice of fish and chip shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs all within walking distance.
